QUEENSTOWN, NEW ZEALAND | TOP THINGS TO SEE AND DO | New Zealand Travel Guide

We had a blast in Queenstown during our first-ever trip to New Zealand and we compile a list of things to see and do in Queenstown.

In case you didn't know, Queenstown is a beautiful resort destination in Otago in the south-west of New Zealand's South Island. It perfectly sits on the shores of the South Island’s Lake Wakatipu, with the Remarkables mountain range in the background. Queenstown is known as the 'adventure capital of the world' - the list of adventures you can throw yourself into here is encyclopedic – from bungee jumping to alpine heliskiing to zip-lining to skydiving to jet boating...the list goes on and on and on. This town is a perfect destination for everyone from adrenaline and thrill-seekers to visitors who just want to chill out.

Here are our recommendations of things to see and do in Queenstown:

LAKE WAKATIPU
Lake Wakatipu is Queenstown’s crown jewel. Upon arriving in Queenstown, you will undoubtedly notice the huge lake the town sits adjacent to. The lake is the perfect place to experience what Queenstown has on offer.

SKYLINE GONDOLA + LUGE
A scenic ride on the iconic Skyline Gondola is a must-do Queenstown activity.
You’ll be carried 450 meters above Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu to the top of Bob's Peak, where you’ll enjoy a spectacular 220-degree panorama with breath-taking views of Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Walter and Cecil Peak and, of course, Queenstown. When you get to the top, enjoy the spectacular views of Queenstown.
We purchased Gondola + 5 Luge Rides for $67. It is well worth the money for sure!

BUNGEE JUMPING
Want to conquer the bungy jumping in the land where they all began? Queenstown is the Bungy capital of New Zealand’s adventure industry, it’s ground-zero for commercial bungy jumping anywhere in the world.

The Kawarau Bungy Centre (AJ Hackett Bungy)
If you haven’t been to the Kawarau Bungy Centre, then you haven’t really been to Queenstown. This is the world home of Bungy, the birthplace of the adventurous spirit that has shaped Queenstown’s character and one of the most famous attractions in Queenstown, New Zealand.

QUEENSTOWN GARDEN
The Queenstown Gardens are just a short walk from central Queenstown and offer a beautiful and tranquil setting away from the hustle and bustle. The gardens are a popular place to take a picnic, relax with friends and family, and enjoy the views of Lake Wakatipu. This is perfect for those who prefer a more relaxing activity in Queenstown.

ARROWTOWN
Arrowtown is a charming historic gold mining town in the Otago region of the South Island of New Zealand. Arrowtown is located on the banks of the Arrow River and is just 20 minutes from Queenstown. This quiet and relaxing town is a must-visit if you are traveling to Queenstown.

SHOTOVER JET
Shotover Jet is the world-famous jet boat ride. This ultimate jet boat experience is the only way to access the spectacular Shotover Canyons. Get ready to experience gravity-defying stunts, the speeds of up to 90kmph, and hold on tight for the famous 360˚ spins and more.
We bought the early bird pass for $135 and purchased an additional of $60 for the photos and videos they took for our ride which we included in this video too.
